A Franciscan Perspective on Suffering (Via Zoom)

February 22, 2:00pm-3:30pm (Central Time)

$12 preregistered/prepaid.

Registration Deadline: February 18 (A link will be sent to you on February 19)

It goes without saying that the COVID-19 experience has us affected all in many ways. Drawing from the sources of Francis and Clare, among others, we will consider informally the question facing the reality of illness in the Franciscan Tradition. What is it to follow Christ even to Calvary, as Francis and Clare did? How can we draw inspiration from their words and attitudes?

Helen Rolfson, OSF, is Professor Emerita of Theology and Ecumenism having taught more than 35 years at St. John’s University in St. Cloud, MN. She has spent many summers researching and translating the works of Jan van Ruusbroec, a 14^th Century Flemish mystic and Augustinian friar.
